Jenny,
The new PPLs will be issued automatically at your next medical after the
end of this year, or if you have a need can be requested earlier than
your medical (but not before about December as they don't start issuing
them till then and will be targetting airline pilots, who must fly
overseas, first).
And I must clarify my answer to Ron which Mark highlighted. When Ron
said "this new license" I assumed he was talking the coming CAR license
not the existing GPC. As I sort of indicated in my original reply the
GPC being a glider pilot _Certificate_ is not (to my knowledge)
recognised as a license. So it won't get you recognition in other
countries. In fact I consider it a pretty useless bit of paper, that's
why I don't have one. Lack of one doesn't (at this stage) stop me flying
in Australia. I may get one in future, but only so I can then get my
Part 61 license endorsed with glider flying to allow me to fly overseas
in future (obviously once I had the PPL endorsement the GPC returns to
being valueless).
Regards
SWK

If you already have a new ICAO-compliant PPL or CPL (issued by
CASA towards the end of this year), you can have a glider class
endorsement added to it instead of having two licenses. It sounds
like CASA will accept the GPC as a proof of entitlement, so if you
have one it'll probably make the issue of the CASA license simple.
If you don't, you'll probably have to jump through some more hoops
(or just get a GPC).
So how do get my 2004 issued PPL "upgraded" to an ICAO compliant one?
Or does it happen automatically?
